Conclusion
The Airtel Postpaid Tariff Hike report describes a general ₹50 increase per plan, separate from the specific ₹549-to-₹699 transition for users of the removed plan, a ₹150 difference. This ₹150 reflects that particular change, not an additional ₹50 increase on the ₹699 plan. The reported lineup has reduced from seven plans to six, but no complete old-and-new price table is provided for every remaining plan. The report also mentions one free international roaming benefit per SIM once every year, without specifying duration or allowances. Fastlane network slicing aims to support faster uploads and downloads with lower latency, not guarantee measured speeds. Airtel’s stated aim is to increase average revenue per user (ARPU); no separate prepaid tariff hike is confirmed.
